Attachment: Content and script

We need to send a promotional email to devs for a contest we're running. Attached is the content of the email, the recipients, and a script to send it based on the script used for bug 841121.

Please run with test_recipients.tsv first and wait for confirmation before sending to recipients.tsv

Thanks.

Ran script with test_recipients.tsv.

Thanks.

Hm. Looks like something's happening to multi-byte encoded To fields in transit. Mine goes from:

To: =?utf-8?b?IktyaXMgTWFnbGlvbmUg4oaSIiA8a21hZ2xpb25lQG1vemlsbGEuY29tPg==?=

in my local test run, to:

To: =?utf-8?b?IktyaXMgTWFnbGlvbmUg4oaSIiA8a21hZ2xpb25lQG1vemlsbGEuY29tPg==?=@zmmta2.mail.corp.phx1.mozilla.com

when I receive the email.

Unless you happen to know an easy solution, I think we can probably make do, but it's not ideal.

Attachment: Updated script

I updated the script to manually encode the email addresses. The MIMEText class is fortunately stupid enough not to escape it.

We should be good to go.
